    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

    Comments about MSR Zing Shelter:

    This shelter is very versatile, and can be set up and adapted to almost any campsite or location, from the beach, to the desert, to the mountains. It is a little tricky to set up, but with practice, it gets easier each time. I would highly recommend viewing the MSR set up video on the REI site before use. I would also recommend buying a couple of REI adjustable tarp poles. This will allow you to create many configurations for almost any site. I use 12" steel nail stakes instead of the supplied stakes, for a bullet proof set up. It packs up very very small, and is relatively light weight. Perfect for car camping. Maybe a little heavy for backpacking, unless you split the components among several hikers. Yes it is expensive, and that is why I can only give it 4 stars. However, if you want a very large, very durable, very versatile protective tarp, nothing comes close.

      Comments about MSR Zing Shelter:

      Used the Zing on a 4 day trip in Canyon lands NP. It packs very small considering it's size when pitched. It's very easy to set up and very sturdy even in the wind when done right. It provided some relief from the direct sun although at peak high temps it does get warm underneath -but still better than no protection at all. I have yet to try it in the rain. A great shelter for car camping that seems like it'll withstand rain and wind better than other models. Plenty of room for our group of five and has an option for addition poles to open it up a bit. My only complaint is the price -Expensive and additional poles from MSR are [$]. Wait for a sale or coupon!
